When publishing your own designs, projects and/or patterns, you must first make sure that you are never infringing on someone else’s copyrights.
Many times I have seen crafters “adapt” a pre-existing pattern, and then call the project their own creation.
Making a few changes to another’s pattern, project or instructions does not make you the owner of the changed design no more than if I were to paint your house for you and call it mine just because I made a change to it.
Your house is your home, no matter what changes another makes, and others creations, patterns and projects are their own no matter what changes you may make to the finished product.
This is not only illegal it’s also dishonest and just plain wrong. For a project or pattern to be completely yours, then you need to design it from scratch completely, before you can proudly call yourself the owner of the projects instructions, and before you can claim the copyrights for yourself.
Yes I also know most crafters do not get caught, and some even brag about this on various crafting boards. Many even encourage this as a method for “quick creation” for projects that they can develop fast for submission to publications.
People who do this, or encourage others to do this are thieves plain and simple. Don’t be a thief, work honestly and it won’t bite you in the rear when you least expect it to.
If you use this method of stealing another’s work, you never know when you could find yourself facing severe penalties and a lawsuit that you probably cannot afford. The only way to protect yourself from suit is to make sure that you only use your own creations and original designs.
